Carmel Valley is roughly 110 miles south of San Francisco International airport (SFO), and 75 miles south of San Jose airport (SJC).  Both are serviced by most of the major airlines.

The closest airport is the smaller Monterey airport (MRY) -- about 15-20 minutes' drive from The Holly Farm. Monterey Airport is serviced by American Eagle, United Express, and America West Express. Connections are mostly through either San Francisco or Los Angeles.
